FINE PICTU RES.

Last evening about o'clock a party Of
ladies and gentlemen gathered at Rogers
gallery to witness the trial of new pro-
cess for charging and printing Of pictures.
The room was darkened and at first the
reporter was under the impression that he
was called upon to attend a spiritual
seance. Mr.. Rogers soon dispelled the
idea but introduced something that APP
pears about as wonderful as spiritualism
By means of Cooper's lantern any negative
in the gallery can be thrown upon patent
prepared paper and in q few minutes pho
tographed- It IS then developed by means
of chemicals and within ten minutes
is produced a picture true aud exact
and bearing a close resemblance TO a cray
on portrait.
This IS the first time the process was ever
tried in this city, Mr. Roger having re
ceived his instruments only yesterday
morning The trial proved. more than a
success and showed that large portraits
can thus be obtained at ons-ffth OF their
former cost
